Saberna Saboo, a popular cine actor in Tamil industry, was found dead by police on Friday in her Chennai flat. The police were called in by her neighbours after a foul smell started coming from her house, which had remained closed for about three days.

When a police team attached to the Anna Nagar station, headed by Deputy Commissioner of Police, arrived at her flat in Maduravoyal, they found that the door wasn’t locked from the inside.

The police walked through the door only to find Saberna lying on the floor in a pool of blood with her wrist slashed. Her body was in a highly decomposed state, it was reported.
